The State of Onsdag is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 18.989 billion Onsdagians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Onsdagian economy, worth 84.1 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 4,426 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests and rare art has become a significant factor in negotiating all foreign trade agreements. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Onsdag's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Onsdag is ranked 317,617^th in the world and 8^th in Western Australia for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 261.51 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
